Signal Box

A retro instrument-panel face with a heart-rate dial and segment bars.

Get Signal Box on the Connect IQ Store Free

Signal Box borrows from old control panels: a heart-rate dial with its own ring, a date block, a wide tabular time, two labelled segment bars and a row of block gauges along the lower rim.

On the face

  • Heart-rate dial, its ring showing how close you are to your maximum heart rate
  • Date block with the current temperature and conditions
  • Large time with outlined minutes and seconds in active mode
  • Two segment bars: steps and battery days left to start with
  • Two block gauges on the rim: Body Battery™ and stress to start with
  • Footer line, sunset to start with

What you can change

Seven slots can be changed from your phone: the dial, the weather line, both bars, both rim gauges and the footer. Most can also be switched off.

Also in the phone settings: 12 or 24 hour time or the watch's setting, a leading zero for 12 h, seconds on or off, the date style (TUE 14 OCT, 14 OCT TUE, TUE 10/14 or 2026-10-14), the always-on style (Rich, Minimal or Time only), units, the first day of the week and a second time zone: pick a city and it follows daylight saving, or set your own offset. On a touch watch, touch and hold a field to open the matching screen on the watch.

Settings are changed in the Connect IQ Store app or the Garmin Connect app on your phone. How settings, always-on mode and missing values work.
